Insight-driven Psychotherapy for Stress & Burnout

Find relief from burnout. Learn to manage stress. Reclaim your life.

The pressure to keep going feels relentless but you are not sure if you can keep up any more.

You used to handle it all—juggling responsibilities, meeting deadlines, and showing up for everyone who needed you. But lately, exhaustion has settled into your bones, and no amount of rest seems to recharge you.

Your to-do list never ends, and even when you have a rare moment to yourself, guilt creeps in, whispering that you should be doing more.

  • You wake up feeling drained, no matter how much sleep you get.

  • Work that once motivated you now feels overwhelming and unfulfilling.

  • Small tasks feel insurmountable, and your patience is running thin.

  • You’re physically present with loved ones, but mentally, you’re elsewhere—distracted, detached, and running on autopilot.

You tell yourself you just need to push a little harder, get a little more done, and things will get better. But deep down, you know this isn’t sustainable. You don’t want to just “get through” life—you want to feel present, engaged, and alive again.

Let’s work together to break this cycle and build a life that actually fuels you.

I will help you reclaim your energy and purpose.

Therapy with me offers more than just temporary relief—it helps you get to the root of what’s draining you. Together, we’ll explore the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of overwork, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. You’ll learn to set boundaries without guilt, reconnect with your passions, and find a new rhythm that prioritizes both success and well-being.

Imagine waking up feeling clear and focused instead of already behind. Picture yourself making decisions with confidence, handling challenges with resilience, and actually enjoying the life you’ve worked so hard to build.

You don’t have to burn yourself out to be worthy. You don’t have to keep running on empty. Relief is possible.

I know you’re already carrying so much, and the last thing I want is for therapy to feel like another obligation.

Our sessions won’t be just another thing on your to-do list—they’ll be a space where you can finally exhale. 

I tailor our work to meet you where you are, making the process engaging, reflective, and, most importantly, restorative. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling lighter, clearer, and more in tune with yourself—so that, little by little, you begin to reclaim the energy and balance you deserve.

Burnout doesn’t happen overnight—

It builds over time, often in high-achieving, deeply committed individuals who push through exhaustion until they have nothing left to give. I specialize in working with professionals, caregivers, and perfectionists who feel trapped in cycles of stress and depletion.

Here are some common struggles I can help with:

  • Work-Related Burnout – Chronic stress from high-pressure careers, toxic workplaces, or unrealistic expectations that leave you drained and disengaged.

  • Perfectionism & Overachievement – The relentless pressure to excel, prove your worth, or “do it all” at the expense of your own well-being.

  • Compassion Fatigue – Emotional exhaustion from constantly caring for others, whether as a healthcare worker, therapist, teacher, or caregiver.

  • Existential Stress & Life Transitions – Questioning your purpose, identity, or direction in life, especially after a major change or prolonged period of overworking.

What you’ll gain from therapy for stress and burnout:

  • Break Free from the Cycle of Overwork – Recognize the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck in stress and exhaustion.

  • Rebuild Emotional Resilience – Learn how to manage stress without shutting down or feeling overwhelmed.

  • Set Boundaries with Confidence – Let go of guilt and people-pleasing so you can protect your time and energy.

  • Reconnect with What Truly Matters – Shift from feeling drained and directionless to leading a life aligned with your values.

  • Heal from Perfectionism and Self-Doubt – Stop measuring your worth by your productivity and embrace self-compassion.

  • Create a Life that Feels Sustainable – Develop habits and mindsets that support long-term well-being, not just short-term survival.

Existential Therapy

Burnout often stems from feeling disconnected—from yourself, your values, or a sense of purpose. We’ll explore the bigger picture of your life, helping you realign with what truly matters so you can move from exhaustion to fulfillment.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Chronic stress isn’t just about workload—it’s often tied to deeper patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-doubt. By understanding how your past experiences shape your present struggles, we’ll break unhelpful cycles and build a healthier, more sustainable way of living and working.
